As well as an ever expanding use of libc, we recently have interfaced to libSDL and cairo for some very funky rpython graphics apps. And we use libpython so that we can extract stuff from python modules. Also, we do byte shuffling with rctypes: reading binary data to/from buffers, etc. I hope we can do all this with rffi, but there are two really cool things about rctypes: 1) it runs on cpython (our main app takes 30minutes+ to compile) 2) it has an automatic code generator (ctypes can autogenerate python wrappers from C header files) Simon. _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
